What is the cost?

Who gets an award?

Awards will be given per category to both the winning designer as well as the winning restaurant / bar operator.

Which category should I enter?

A project can be entered into any relevant category. If you collaborated on a piece of work with another company or individual, you will need to make sure they haven’t entered it as well. A full list of this year’s categories is available.

Prepare your work

Make sure all entry materials (text and images) are clear, concise and of the best possible quality. Poor quality visual media will weaken your application.

What you will need

Full contact and location details for the restaurant or bar and full contact details for the project's designer.

To have made a decision on which category you wish to enter the project.
